Just noticed what looks like a renovation in progress?
Right by the Paramount Theater in Downtown Newark. Looks prime for some conversions. Some of the older buildings in general are suitable candidates, and I suspect this could be a conversion in progress. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1647/...02e185b9_b.jpg 20160126_100944 by Christopher Estevez, on Flickr |
That is part of the Four Corners project which either start in the Summer or Fall?

I am stunned: A Starbucks on Broad Street! Never thought I'd see the day!
EDIT: I suppose I should ask: Where on Broad Street? I'm thinking of the stretch south of Raymond Blvd, which I know best as a notable collection of wig shops. Unless it's going somewhere else? EDIT #2: I just found it here on Google street view. Not the area I was thinking of, but still a big improvement. I remember in the early-mid 80's the block along the west side of Broad St just north of Raymond used to feature nothing but junky old buildings with tons of "welfare people" (for lack of a better word) hanging out with nothing to do. |

I wouldn't have a problem with them being there, but they tend to bother people who just want to sit and wait for the train. I was in the area yesterday for a dentist appointment (the dentist I have is worth the 40 mile drive), and a good spot to see the people on a mission is Military Park. Ussually at 8 am they have the drug rehab circles. You can see them dancing, singing, or playing football. The area is still making strides to become better. Still infested by low lives from the North district, but, its improving. Also a good place to get shoes is Dr.Jays on Market, and if your into weaves, well, plenty of shops for that. I really hope Newark or at least downtown follows the footsteps of Jersey City. Even North Ironbound is a bargain compared to what you get per sq-footage in Hoboken or Newport. |
Lots of potential for this place. I have a kind of bias towards this place because I went to University at Rutgers Newark / NJIT, but its a great place. I'd say it can be much better place than Jersey City if it booms. Back in the 50's, Newark use to be the place to be. The creme de la creme, on par with Detroit.

Newark is coming back. It will get there.
Ironbound is actually booming with construction, and downtown Newark is finally getting some residential towers. A Gehry tower is proposed for the Four Corners project. |
